Generation of high quality manure, which would be weedless and an excellent soil conditioner. One kg kitchen waste produces 0.5 m3 biogas. Methane burns with a blue flame without producing any smoke or soot. For a typical urban household, biogas (having CV of almost 6600 kCal / kg) saves about 100 kg of LPG or 250 litres of kerosene per year, which is equivalent to 300 kg to 600 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year.
A substantial portion of food waste is biodegradable (38-40%) which can be used to generate methane.
